Wildlife encounters are never guaranteed, and the best visit gives animals and habitats plenty of space. These guides point toward nature-rich settings; check the latest rules from the relevant park or local authority.
Observe without disturbing
Keep a generous distance from wildlife, never feed animals and follow marked routes. Seasonal closures or viewing rules may be in place to protect nesting, resting or feeding areas. Use a local guide where required.
Understand the habitat
From penguin colonies and reefs to dunes and island reserves, each coast has different pressures. Avoid stepping on vegetation or coral, take all waste with you and choose operators that follow conservation guidance.
